I’ve been doing a bit of work using del.icio.us as a data provider so this post by Jason Kottke made me chuckle.

Besides, recursion is just cool.

del.icio.us will eat itself:

del.icio.us.

People who have bookmarked del.icio.us on del.icio.us.

Ed. note: At this point, the del.icio.us web server started singing “Daisy, Daisy” and soon after, Skynet achieved consciousness.

Work:
A run-down of what I’m currently coding for Spoken Word. I have had limited time to put toward Spoken Word stuff recently, but I hope this will change in the next few weeks.

• A citations system: Based on Chris Putnam’s excellent bibutils will allow download of RIS, EndNote and BibTex versions of the appropriate reference for a Padova item.
• A feature for Padova called Zeitgeist: this will embed the contents of del.icio.us URI info rss feeds (which essentially contain the posting history for that URI) reformatted and put into a nice AJAX drop-down box. This allows one so see how previous del.icio.us users have tagged and commented the item you’re looking at. Adding a callback to our database will allow us to maintain an informal zeitgeist of which items are most often bookmarked. Technorati support will eventually be forthcoming.
• Much more robust and useful XML output in Padova. It will output pure Dublin Core; Fedora FoxML or Library of Congress MODS. FoXML support is pretty much done - I just need to test that records exported in Fedora actually then import successfully into Fedora. DC is a copy-and-paste job, but MODS will require a few mapping decisions.

- the european archive : item page: Pedestrian Crossing -
An interesting item - a Hitchcock-alike tries his very best to cross the road, to Frank Spencer-esque slapstick consequences.
